Hello, This should also run using Mac: Did you copy the antcontrib.jar to your Mac? Can you show us your error log?
I use <taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml"/> on Windows and Linux Juergen -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: BryanBerg [mailto:bb...@spawar.navy.mil] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 29.

Prior research has suggested that I add ant-contrib-0.3.jar to my ANT_HOME installation directory, which I have done (that had actually gotten rid of another 'failed to create task or type' error) I used ant-contrib-0.3.jar because research suggested that this jar is mapped to the line: < taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antcontrib.properties" /> which is in the build.xml file I am using. The project builds on windows machines ( I even got it to build using https://code.google.com/p/winant/ ) but am trying to get it built on a mac. I am thus not looking to change the build.xml file. An example of the run target line is: <target name="setPASProps" depends="" description="setup the properties"> <property name="systemname" value="PAS"/> <runtarget target="setSystemProps"/> </target> Here is some info from running ant -diagnostics ------------------------------------------- ANT PROPERTIES ------------------------------------------- ant.version: Apache Ant(TM) version 1.8.2 compiled on June 20 2012 ant.java.version: 1.7 Is this the Apache Harmony VM? no Is this the Kaffe VM? no Is this gij/gcj? no ant.core.lib: /usr/share/ant/lib/ant.jar ant.home: /usr/share/ant ------------------------------------------- ANT_HOME/lib jar listing ------------------------------------------- ant.home: /usr/share/ant ant-antlr.jar (5756 bytes) ant-contrib-0.3.jar (17708 bytes) ant-jmf.jar (6745 bytes) ant-junit.jar (102350 bytes) ant-junit4.jar (7126 bytes) ant-launcher.jar (12321 bytes) ant-swing.jar (7563 bytes) ant-testutil.jar (15198 bytes) ant.jar (1937098 bytes) Thanks !
